Read more about the 1983 fire in Old Main from our @USULibraries archives. Monday, Jan. 2, 1984 — issuu.com/usudigitalcommons/… Wednesday, Jan. 4, 1984 — issuu.com/usudigitalcommons/… Friday, Jan. 6, 1984 — issuu.com/usudigitalcommons/…
On this date in 1983, the north wing of Old Main caught fire. After the three-hour fight to extinguish the flames, firefighters reported six inches of water running through the corridors, requiring extensive renovation. Thankfully, no one was harmed.
